With the official announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, its pricing has sparked heated discussions among players. Many gamers believe that the price of new consoles is too high, and the price of games has risen simultaneously, which may affect the initial purchase intention. In this regard, Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo of America, said that the Switch 0 is reasonably priced and suggested that players with a limited budget can still choose to start with the first Switch.
In an interview with CBC Canada, Doug Bowser emphasized that the pricing of the Switch 2 takes into account the value of the console and the overall gaming experience. He admits that he understands that some consumers may find it difficult to afford the price of the new machine, so Nintendo will continue to maintain the supply of the original Switch, so that all players can join the Nintendo game world in a way that suits them.
In particular, Bowser confirmed that the original Switch will continue to be supported, including a series of new games that will still be launched this year. Regarding the market expectations of the Switch 2, although he did not disclose the specific sales target, he believes that the new console can continue the successful trajectory of the Switch.
